Solid Sanitary Construction. No cracks or dust pockets. 


Ventilation Without Drafts. Can open, up to five or six inches at center rail while still 
closed, top and bottom. 


Ease of Operation. A nurse or patient can operate with slight effort. 

Safety. Due to limitation of opening to any desired maximum. 

Weathertight. Avoiding necessity of double windows. 

Awning Feature. By having shades on each sash—also securing privacy. See cut on page 23. 
Exterior Screens. Entirely practical, hinged and removable. See cut above. 


By using Short Austral-Balance Arms, ample opening is obtained in a minimum reveal of 
8 inches, although a 12-inch or more reveal is recommended.

ADDENDA 


Recent Improvements 


Since the accompanying catalogue was issued we 
have made further improvements in the con- 
struction of the Winslow Window, advancing its 
already established and recognized efficiency, 
details of which we will be glad to furnish on 


request. 


We have also had a second complete Fire Test 
made by the Underwriters Laboratories, which 
demonstrated that the Expansion Channel (see 
cut page 9) in connection with the Winslow Fire 


Window will not be required. 


An Addenda to their full report has been issued 
by the Underwriters Laboratories covering this 
omission and their acceptance of the window p 


without this feature.

JHE WINSLOW WINDOW 


The Winslow Window « 
Austral-Balance 


HE following pages show in detail an entirely new type of one-plane 
solid steel window, with Austral-balance, which, because of 
its unusual design and construction and many practical advantages, 


merits your favorable consideration. 


The Winslow Window completely meets the demand for an attractive, 
fire-proof, and durable solid steel window for public buildings of all kinds, 
such as office buildings, banks, libraries, hotels, schools, hospitals, etc. 


The Winslow Window is the only type of window which provides 
Scientific Ventilation. 


It is easily adapted to the requirements of any type of construction of 
buildings, old or new. 


It has been thoroughly tested for weather-tightness, practicability, operation, 
etc., and only the highest grade of materials are used in its construction. 


This superiority is attested by the fact that it is endorsed and manufactured 
by the Hecla-Winslow Company, Inc., a recent consolidation of the well- 
known Hecla Iron Works of New York, and The Winslow Brothers Company 
of Chicago. 


A complete specification for the window, for the masonry, and for the 


glazing is provided, which will assist the Architect in making details 


and specifications. 
Having large manufacturing facilities we can guarantee prompt deliveries. 


Correspondence solicited.

Underwriters’ Label 


The Following is a copy of the ‘‘recommendation” made in general report on the Winslow Fire 
Window by the Chief En&ineer of the Underwriters’ Laboratories: 


Hele Nig IU. RECOMMENDATION 
TO THE COUNCIL OF UNDERWRITERS’ LABORATORIES : 


We recommend promulgation of the following notice to 
subscribers and the action indicated thereby. 


WINDOWS 702- 


Hecla-Winslow Company, Inc., Manufacturer, 
Harrison Street, 46th and 47th Aves., Chicago, Ill. 


Solid Section Metal Window Frame for Wired Glass. 


Window consists of a frame in which two sashes, one above the 
other, “are pivoted to balance, or tilting arms. Sides and top 
of frame provided with expansion relief channels and with 
adjustable wall anchors. Edges of lights extend into grooves 
one-half inch deep. Exposed area of glass not greater than 
510 square inches in any light. Sashes provided with guides 
at top and bottom and with a lock at middle of meeting rails. 


Windows examined at factory and passed by Underwriters! 
Laboratories have labels attached. 


LABELS -- Illustration on reverse side of this card. (See below.) 


These windows in sizes not exceeding 5 by 9 feet, are approved 
for protection of moderately exposed exterior openings. 


Underwriters having jurisdiction to be consulted as to which 
type, if any, of wired glass window will be accepted in 
any particular location and as to approval of installation, 
glazing and automatic attachments. The label is evidence 
of the proper construction of the window at the factory. 


This card is issued by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., and 
replaces 702, dated August 30, 1913. 


Test and Report by Respectfully submitted, 


Mee CARR, Asst. Ene. ; 
6 Kobi ne. 


Chief Engineer. 


The Foregoing Recommendation has been accepted and the action proposed therein has been taken.

THE WINSLOW WINDOW 


The Winslow Fire Window 


“Non-labeled” 


This type of window is adaptable to party 
wall and court exposures, where wired 
alass is necessary or desirable, to meet 
the requirements of the Building Depart- 
ment; and where a strict adherence to 
all the stipulations of the Underwriters’ 
Laboratories, as described on preceding 


pages, need not be followed. 


The general detail of construction is iden- 


tical with the typical Winslow Window, 


except that dividing muntins 114” in width 


are added. See page 9. 


Windows of this character, where wired 
glass is used, should have an exposed 
area of not more than 720 sq. inches 


in each subdivision. This is a requirement 


of the Building Departments of most of 


our principal cities. 


Expansion channel frames and malleable 
Newnes sole Bg iron hardware are not required, our 


standard bronze hardware being advisable. 


This type of window may also be used on principal, or street fronts, where a 
subdivision of the alass is desired for architectural effect. In this case, plate 
or other clear glass would be used, and the dividing muntins 34" in width are 
advised. The subdivision in this case can be either as shown above or as 
shown in connection with the fire window, or of any other design preferred. 


This type of window would not bear the label of the Underwriters’ Laboratories.

Roller Shades 


and their perfect efficiency as 
Awnings 
A Description of the Shade Fittings and directions for installing Roller Shades with the 
object of insuring the most satisfactory results. See pages 22 and 23. 


Owing to the unique design and operation of the Winslow Window, the ordinary type of 
fittings are not suitable, and especially designed fittings are therefore provided, as described 
herewith. These comprise: Shade Brackets to support roller, Shade Catches to hold cord 
from slipping, and Shade Controllers, Patented, the latter an entirely new feature to take 


the place of pawls and ratchets. 
This leaves only the shade proper with cord to be selected. 
Two independent shades are required, one on upper, and one on lower sash. 


Various arrangements of these are possible—the No. 1 bein& recommended, with No. 2 


next, the fittings being adapted to any position. See accompanying cuts on page 23. 
These are shown in Figs. 1 and 5, page 22, being securely screwed to sash. 


This is shown in Fig. 7, page 22, and is an especially practical and efficient fitting to 
prevent shade from unwinding when in tension, and takes the place of the ordinary 


delicate pawls and ratchets, which should be removed entirely. 


These are to hold cord with shade in tension in plane of glass; are made of die cast white 
metal of peculiar cam shape to prevent cord from slipping. The two styles, V and W, are 


made for fastening to glazing stops or on face of sash as shown. See Figs. 2 and 4. 


Owing to the unique manner of operation the Shades on a Winslow Window make perfect 
awnings, easily set to any position, shading the room from the direct rays of the sun, 


while giving more or less direct light at the same time. 


These are not furnished with the Window, the following being our recommendation in 


selecting or specifying with the view to obtaining best results :— 
1.—Shades should be made full length of barrel of roller, to avoid a streak of light at sides. 


2.—The Roller should be 114” in diameter, regardless of width of window, as fittings are 


all made for this size. 


3.—Slat in Shade should not be less than 114” wide, with eyelet at center, and also have 


a 1” flap if possible to insure complete exclusion of light when entirely closed. 
4.—Cords should be of braided material about No. 4, of 800d quality to insure best service. 


A diagram will be furnished on request, giving the exact lenath and width of shades, 
with complete instructions to aid purchaser in ordering.

Proposed Form that may be used by the Architect 
in specifying The Winslow Window 


This contractor shall furnish al! material and labor to execute and erect 
complete, ready for mason, glazier and painter, all the Winslow Windows 
shown on the accompanying plans, and as required by this specification, 


of the best materials and workmanship throughout. 


The frames, with sash fitted into same, shall be delivered to the building, 
assembled complete, and shail be set by this contractor, as the masonry 
progresses, plumb and true to line, without wind or warp, and held 
rigidly in place by clips to beams above, or braced in an approved 
manner, while being thoroughly masoned in. 


The frames and sash shall be wedged at meeting rail to prevent 
mason crowding side frames against sash while building in. Sash 
shall be kept closed with temporary clips and screws, which together 
with wedges at meeting rail, must not be removed until after glazing 


is completed and putty set. 


Work shall be left completely finished, free from defacement, and first 


class in every respect, to the satisfaction of the architect. 


All frames and sills shall be made of solid rolled, open hearth steel in 
various and special shapes, sharp and true as shown. Sill and head to 
have special channel shapes attached. Sill to have clip knee at center 
to fit over masonry sill, to prevent forward movement in erecting. 
Frames and sills shall be thoroughly connected with mortise and tenon 


in most substantial manner possible. No rivets or knees to be used. 


Steel Anchors shall be furnished where shown. Those at sides are 
of the utmost importance so that jambs are prevented from crowding 


sash at meeting rail. 


Sash shall be built up of special moulded solid rolled steel as detailed, 
thoroughly oxy-acetylene or electrically welded at all mitres. No riveting 


or other method of connection will be allowed. 


The glass stops shall be of special moulded solid rolled steel, secured 
with bronze oval head screws to prevent rust, and be placed on inside 


of windows to allow of glazing from inside of the building.

Masonry 
In Connection with The Winslow Window 


The Winslow Window, being of slender steel construction and depend- 
ing upon accurate and rigid building in, for its successful operation, 
requires more than usual co-operation on the part of the mason with 


the window contractor. 


After masonry sills are set, window will be erected and braced plumb 
and true by window contractor; the masonry contractor shall make 
proper bed of cement mortar to receive same, great care being taken 
that weight of window comes at the ends of sill and not at center, in 
order that sill may remain straight and true, perfectly level, and the 


jambs perpendicular. 


The masonry contractor shall then build in frame complete, using great 
care that the steel tee frame and sill are thoroughly grouted, especially 
the under-cut portion of frame, which must be absolutely filled in at all 
points. The mortar for grouting shall be mixed with an approved 


waterproofing compound. 


Frames and sills to be neatly pointed up after completion, leaving the 
work in a perfect workmanlike and finished condition, absolutely 


weather-tight at all points. 


Only the best materials shall be used as specified elsewhere for similar 


work. 


Special Care must be taken that anchors at sides adjoining meeting 
rail be thoroughly built in so as to be absolutely immovable. 


If this is not done the jambs are liable to crowd the sash and bind 


them so that their operation will be made impossible. 


The Winslow Window is erected with sash and frame assembled com- 
plete and locked closed, with wedges between sash and side frame to 


insure freedom of motion when released. 


This Contractor must, therefore, take special note that above instruc- 
tions are carefully followed, and will be held responsible if these 


anchors are not thoroughly and rigidly held in place.

Glass and Glazing 


In Connection with The Winslow Window 


Owing to the design of the Winslow Window, the upper and lower sash must 
balance, making it of the utmost importance that the glass be of the same thick- 
ness or weight for each window. This requires glass being selected with great 
care; each sect of two pieces required for a window being exactly the same size, 
must therefore be of the same thickness or weight, a latitude being allowable of 


not to exceed two pounds. 
All glazing must be done on the building at such time as may be directed. 


Steel glazing stops attached with bronze screws are provided with the window; 
this contractor to remove and replace same, and be responsible for any damage 


to stops or loss of screws in @lazina. 


All glazing is done from the inside of building. 


Putty should contain the prop2r amount of litharge to insure thorough drying and 


hardening. 


Sash must not be opened while glazing, as sash members are slender and apt to 


bulge or swell if glazed open, causing them to bind and defeat ease of operation. 


For this reason all sash are locked with temporary clips and screws at meeting rail 
and wedged at sides when delivered at the building. The sash must not be 
opened until several days after glazing. Wood cushions or other bearing blocks 


must be placed at extreme corners to avoid putting weight of glass at center of sash, 


This Contractor shall take extraordinary precautions for the protection of glass in 
this contract after same is put in place at the building, and he shall be held 
responsible for all breakages in the glass until the building is completed and 
accepted. 


At completion, or when so ordered, the contractor shall clean the glass of all oil 
or other defacement; wash and leave perfectly clean.

Instructions for Erecting 
Winslow Windows 


Windows are shipped from factory with Sash, Balance Arms and Roller Bearings 


complete, but without Hardware. Hardware packed separately. 


Head, Meeting Rail and Sill are wrapped securely with cloth to prevent clogging up 
with mortar and dirt. This cloth must not be removed until ready for glazing. 


Great care must be exercised in handling, especially from depot, so that frames and sash 
do not get warped or damaged. 


Great care must be used in setting windows perfectly plumb, true, level and not 
warped, on masonry sill. 


Masonry sill should be well grouted or bedded with Cement Mortar before frames 
are set. 


Frames must be braced at upper corners, preferably to spandrel beams, to avoid disturbance 
while being built in. 


Shims or Wedges of hard fiber, acting as spacers are provided and driven in between 


sash and side frames at meeting rail to prevent crowding side frames by mason. 


It is very important that masonry be not allowed to crowd in these side frames which 
would cause sash to bind in operation. 


These Shims must remain in place until after masonry is thoroughly well set. 
replace at once before masonry is started. 


If lost, 


To make frames perfectly weather-tight they should be well cemented or grouted by 
Mason while being built in, care being taken that entire joint between frame and mason 
work is filled in with cement mortar. 


No calking with oakum or other similar material should be allowed at side frames that 


would tend to crowd them against the sash. 


If necessary, frames can be pointed up after being built in, using a Plastic Cement or 
Cement Putty. 


Anchors are provided for side frames at meeting rail, and it is very important that 


they be well built in and grouted with aT

PAINTING All windows complete, comprising frames and sash, are painted one coat of genuine red 


lead and oil, or preferably with ‘Tockolith,” a special cement paint, before leaving factory. 


Should any part of window be chafed or damaged in shipping or erecting, such should be 
touched up at the building at once to thoroughly protect the window before the final 


finish painting is applied. 
The finish painting is not a part of our contract unless specially arranged for. 


GLASS AND GLAZING The glass shall be of first quality polished plate, uniform in thickness to insure proper 


balance. 


Glazing should be done using a minimum of putty, and putty must contain sufficient 


litharge to insure thorough drying and hardening. 


Cut in margin illustrates best practice, i. e., use a minimum of putty “thumbed” into sash 


as shown, press lass in place, then “back putty” as indicated. 


All glazing is done from the inside of the 
building. 


Steel glazing stops are provided, attached 


with bronze screws. 


Side and top stops only need be removed in 
glazing. 


Glazing must not be done with the sash SU ARSNGNe 


swung open, as this might “swell” sash, making iy |(D) 
same bind; for this reason all sash are locked EERIE = HE) 
‘together before shipping, by means of a tem- Ie

These clips must not be removed until after ee a 


glazing, when both clips and screws should 


be returned to us. 


Glass must have soft wood cushions or bear- 
ings furnished and set in place at extreme 
corners of sash, to avoid putting weight of 


glass at center of sash.
